The raid follows a second terror alert in Russia's southern city of Rostov-on-Don earlier on Thursday morning.

A homeless man lost his hand after picking up an improvised explosive device disguised as a flashlight outside one of the city's schools.

Children were not in the building when the explosion took place.

Russian authorities are currently on high alert following a terror attack in St. Petersburg on Monday. Fourteen people died when a bomb was detonated on the city's metro system, injuring more than 50 and sparking a city-wide lockdown.
